1953 Map of Bennett

About this map

Bennett serves as a primary hub of activity in this 1953 landscape, situated at the junction of local roads and a railroad line. The terrain is defined by the gentle drainage of Bennett Creek and Mud Creek, which wind through the agricultural townships of Inland, Liberty, and Farmington. A notable feature of the local infrastructure is the dismantled railroad corridor, reflecting the shifting transportation patterns of the mid-20th century as rail lines began to give way to improved highways.
